marco rubio ran for his senate seat as a fiscal conservative. do you remember his proposed budget plan as a senate candidate? he put forward a budget plan to add $3.5 trillion to the deficit. marco rubio is not a particularly serious guy in terms of what he has done in his senate life or even as a senate candidate but his biography as a young conservative latino senator in some ways makes him perfect, right? unless spinal cord injury awareness is a much bigger political deal than i as a liberal can possibly understand in republican politics, i think it is marco rubio's biography and not legislative accomplishments that make him as a potential vice presidential pick.as imperative of attractin latino vote have created more and more and more of a focus on whether or not marco rubio might be able to save the republicans chances, the focus on marco rubio's biography has turned up unexpectedly complicated stuff. remember when univision would host a debate for republican candidates and it didn't happen? it got canceled. all of the republican candidates

. >> karen, in terms of the republican establishment, we are seeing marco rubio complaining a little bit about newt gingrich, neither he nor rick scott, the medicare fraud tainted florida governor, nor jeb bush, the very popular former governor in florida, they are not endorsing anybody. if the establishment is so squarely behind romney and anti-newt gingrich, why isn't the florida republican establishment doing that same thing? >> well first of all they haven't officially endorsed romney but both rubio and jeb bush, basically a saint to the conservative movement, have issued statements that were supportive of romney. essentially they defended romney against newt gingrich's characterization that he basically has the same team that ran charlie crist's campaign for governor. he was an incumbent and he had to become an independent because he was going to be defeated on his own ballot. so they have done some things that are supportive of him but i think quite frankly that what you have here in florida as you have all over the country is this very deep divide within the republican party,

so to sum up, marco rubio says the majority of americans are conservative. politifact looks into that and finds that a majority of americans do not identify as conservative. and even if you want to extrapolate to parties, even if you want to give marco rubio the benefit of the doubt and say that republican leaning instead of conservative, that still doesn't get you to a majority either. so according to politifact, marco rubio's literal claim is false, extrapolating generously from his literal claim, also false. therefore, politifact's rating of marco rubio's statement -- mostly true! seriously?! claim "a," false. claim "b," false. overall politifact rating, mostly true! politifact, please leave the building.
